<p># Announcing the <code>rustc-guide</code> Strike Force</p>
<p>The <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-guide" target="_blank" title="https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-guide"><code>rustc-guide</code></a> is the official<br>
resource for discovering how the compiler works and how to contribute to it. It<br>
has come a _looong_ way since it was created a year and a half ago!</p>
<p>As a result, we now have over [70 issues][issues] on the repo, some of which<br>
have unfortunately become quite stale. The [Learning Working Group][wg] is<br>
creating a Strike Force to triage these issues, determine the action items for<br>
them, and try to get some work started on them.</p>
<p>But we there is _a lot_ of work! We need your help! If this sounds like an<br>
interesting way for you to contribute, please ping us in [this Zulip<br>
topic][rgsf].</p>

<p>Yup, just did that. I'm a little green when it comes to rust, but I have had a lot of experience writing up things. I was actually swayed by the README.md where it says it's ok to not know all the details. Hoping to learn a bit while I write this up :)</p>
